Phoenix, AZ (New Times) Here’s a familiar story: Conservative candidate plays a rock song at a rally, liberal artist complains. Ronny Reagan and Bruce Springsteen. Mike Huckabee and Boston. Michele Bachmann and Tom Petty.
Ron Paul, on the other hand, has a handful of diehard musician fans that are willing to travel and perform across the country to join the “Ron Paul Revolution.” The GOP presidential candidate has said that a revolution requires two things: young people and music. Tonight, Jordan Page, Golden State and locals Captain Squeegee (who are dedicated supporters of Paul) will deliver on both.
After tonight’s GOP debate at Mesa Arts Center, Paul supporters will head two blocks away to New Life Bible Church, where the candidate will speak and the artists will perform, starting with Jordan Page at 8 p.m., directly before Paul’s 8:30 p.m. speech.
(ABC 15) Congressman Ron Paul supporters will gather for a viewing party in Mesa not far from the event venue, and Paul will join them after the debate ends. 5:30pm event start, New Life Bible Church, Mesa.
This is a free event; donations encouraged.
Where: New Life Bible Church, 200 East 1st Street, Mesa, AZ When: 8:30PM

Excerpt from “10 Years of Filter: Issue 5 Revisted”
Band: Paloalto
Where They Were Then: Exploring the world of mid-level success with the release of their second album Heroes & Villains produced by Rick Rubin.
Where They Are Now: While the band is still technically active, Paloalto has not released a new album since Heroes & Villains. Grundler and Black are now part of a new band project: Golden State.
FILTER Said: Paloalto is a nice band that you might be able to share with your dad if they ever make it to an arena. And they want to make it to an arena.
Band Said: “Music was never supposed to be viewed as such a commercialized thing, although it can be commercial and there is success involved and that’s great, but I think people need to really realize what music should have to offer. It should offer you something with a little more depth to it. That’s my opinion anyway.”
Golden State’s first national tour is taking shape. Further details to be announced.

Via the Wasington Times, “Paulites also favor music because, to them, Mr. Paul is a rogue rock star, even at age 76. Los Angeles-based band Goldenstate released the song and companion video “Bombs (The Ron Paul Song)” this week in U2-inspired, anthem style. Lyrics proclaim, “It’s not impossible that we can end this war, just let your heart explode.” Well, OK. But the larger message is that the band is donating all proceeds from the tune to Mr. Paul’s campaign, not just the typical “portion.” And thus is the devotion of the Paulites.”
